Block Activators [OUTDATED - READ DESC]
by Gitko01
Block Activators, a Fabric technology mod for 1.19.2 – 1.19.4, makes activators replicate the behavior of other mods' machines and blocks.
What it does
The mod adds a replica of an autonomous activator, so a block placed in front of an activator can be triggered on a timer. Support for activators facing up and down was added later, and the tick interval that controls how often an activator updates can be changed in the configuration.
Block Activators runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Fake Player API for Fabric is needed for the activator to act as a player. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 2 release versions, 1.19.2 and 1.19.4, under a custom license that is not open source.
Files exist for 1.19.2 and 1.19.4, and the latest is 1.3.0 for 1.19.4, released 2023-04-07. The first release came out on 2022-12-28. The page is marked outdated, so the author text warns that the description may no longer match the newest build.
